Help! I changed the gender of the male protagonist in the yandere game

“That would be me.”

Bai Jie wasn't wearing a mask right now, and he couldn't imagine why Songping Zhumo, a retainer of Ye Ming, would come here.

This accommodation area for the ninja was isolated from the rest of the mansion, and there were also shikigami specifically responsible for guarding it, preventing anyone from trespassing or low-level ninjas from leaving the accommodation area at will.

“Lord Songping, is there something you need from me?”

He wondered while asking Songping Zhumo about his purpose.

“First of all, I must thank you, Lord Bai Jie.”

The old man bowed to him first.

“As a samurai, I have served the Yue Jialuo clan of Bei'ao for many years. The previous head of the Yue Jialuo clan was my benefactor, and I must thank you, Lord Bai Jie, for saving the young master at the Spider's Nest of Calamity.”

“No, I only did what I was supposed to do.”

“Even if it was what you were supposed to do, saving someone is a fact.”

Songping Zhumo smiled, “Because we were busy with affairs before, and the young master was injured, we were embarrassed to come and thank you… However, I recently heard that you, Lord Bai Jie, have made great contributions and become a Chunin of the ninja, congratulations.”

“You are too kind, Lord Songping.”

Bai Jie quickly asked, “I take the liberty of asking, how is the young master of the Yue Jialuo family doing?”

“He went to Kyoto. He will stay there for a while.”

The old man Songping smiled, “Thank you for your concern, but the young master is fine.

Before he left, he told me to give you a gift. It’s a small gift, not worth mentioning, but I hope you will accept it with a smile.”

“A gift?”

Bai Jie was stunned for a moment.

Songping Zhumo handed over something wrapped in a long cloth.

“Lord Bai Jie, why not open it and take a look.”

Bai Jie reached out and took it, and found that the gift was heavy. He casually opened the long cloth and found that it was a “short spear” wrapped inside.

No, not a short spear.

To Bai Jie's surprise, it was a folded spear.

“This is called the ‘Seven-Section Spear’. It is exactly eight feet long, and the spear body has seven sections. The length is up to you, and the usage is ever-changing.”

Songping Zhumo scratched his face.

“I am ashamed to say that I was obsessed with ingenious skills when I was young, and I have some hobbies for this kind of thing. This Seven-Section Spear was made by a famous craftsman when I was young, but now that I am older, my energy is not in this area.

I heard that you, Lord Bai Jie, are also proficient in spearmanship, so I had the temporary idea of giving this Seven-Section Spear to you. I hope you don’t dislike this gift for being too shabby.”

Speaking of this, he said again, “Let me demonstrate it”, and took out the Seven-Section Spear. Then, with a flick of his hand, the Seven-Section Spear was like a spirit snake emerging from its hole, connecting into a spear.

‘This is… a weapon controlled by spiritual power, with a self-adjusting length?’

Bai Jie twitched his eyebrows.

This can be said to be a kind of “odd weapon”, which is originally something that is not practical in actual combat, or has fewer application scenarios.

However, in this world, through the characteristics of spiritual power, even weapons such as snake-belly swords and blood-drop sons can be completely put into actual combat.

“No, this is already very precious.”

Bai Jie said in a deep voice, “I cannot accept something so precious.”

“Please don’t refuse, Lord Bai Jie.”

The old man Songping quickly persuaded, “Receiving kindness without gratitude and holding grudges forever is not the family style of the Yue Jialuo clan. This gift is just a token of our appreciation. If you refuse, Lord Bai Jie, then the Yue Jialuo clan will also lose face.”

“This?”

Bai Jie pondered for a while, and could only bite the bullet and accept the spear handed over by the other party.

“I understand, thank you for Lord Ye Ming’s kindness, I will accept it shamelessly.”

“That’s good.”

The old man Songping chuckled, “Maybe we will have to bother you in the future.”

This was still too polite.

The other party's status was much higher than his own, and normally speaking, there would be nothing that would require him to bother them.

However, the old man Songping was a hidden combatant in the protagonist group. Even though he was old, he was still a swordsman-level unit, and Bai Jie had no intention of offending him, so he could only honestly accept it.

‘However, I still have to report to the ninja head later. Considering that it is a gift from the Yue Jialuo clan, it should be considered my personal item, right?’

……

Late night. Chou time.

Above the mountains and forests that seemed to be filled with ink, was a night sky full of emptiness. Filled with a velvet blanket dotted with countless starlight, and the bright moonlight that ran through the darkness.

A lantern suddenly emerged from the darkness.

Two figures were moving along the mountain road, one in front and one behind.

“Lady Xiaohagi, please go in this direction.”

The boy serving as a page was the fourth son of the Sagu family, Yata.

The handsome page was leading the way.

“According to the information from the ‘Eye of Retribution’, the location we are looking for should be in this direction.”

He was also carrying a lantern in his hand.

The eldest princess of the Black Princess Mountain family was wearing a scarlet kosode, and her silver hair was tied up with washi paper. Her right hand was also carrying a sheathed long sword.

Walking into the deep mountains, a little bit of cold and dampness quietly gathered around.

“Through ‘memory probing’ of Geng Saburo’s brain tissue, although it was because the other party’s brain was dead, the results of probing the remaining spirits still found a base of the ‘Eight Happiness Society’ in Mutsu Province.”

Yata explained to the great princess he was loyal to.

“Considering the danger of the outer laws of the Eight Happiness Society, it is not convenient for the lower ninja to come forward. I have taken the liberty of using the private soldiers of the Sagu family.”

“Is that so?”

Xiaohagi glanced at the page.

“In addition, people from the factions that support the princess have also taken the initiative to send people to help us carry out the operation.”

Yata’s tone was quite proud.

He didn’t notice that Xiaohagi’s eyes were quite cold.

The eldest princess of the Black Princess Mountain family was very unhappy. She had no idea where the other party got the courage to issue orders on her behalf.

Of course, there was no need to get angry now.

She understood how concerned the people in her faction were about this matter.

This group of people was eager to achieve success and wanted to make a contribution in order to please the court. So that she could rightfully ascend to the position of head of the family.

The reason why they were so impatient was because the current head of the Black Princess Mountain family, who was also her biological mother, gave birth to a baby boy seven years ago.

In fact, Xiaohagi didn’t even know how many “sisters” she had, because her mother may have had contact with many wild men outside. There may be many children besides Gehua.

However, at least on the surface, there are currently five candidates for the next successor of the Black Princess Mountain clan, namely herself, Gehua, and the third and fourth sisters, named Fuzi and Weihua. They are a pair of twins.

Fuzi and Weihua are only ten years old, and they are too young, and there are no factional forces to support them, so they cannot participate in the competition for successors at all.

Xiaohagi would not regard the two twin sisters as her competitors. She clearly knew that to become the head of the family, her enemies were only two, one was Gehua, and the other was her biological mother.

Her mother, after miraculously giving birth to a baby boy seven years ago, showed unusual doting on this boy named “Fujikuma”.

In fact, that way of doting was simply not like the style of a Black Princess Mountain woman. Even Xiaohagi herself did not understand why a woman who was bloodless and tearless, and only poisoned her most beloved father because she felt he was in the way, would be so fond of the baby boy she gave birth to.

Xiaohagi had naturally seen that child, because he was overly spoiled, even though he was already seven years old, his mental age was not even four or five years old, and he would still clamor for his mother to breastfeed him.

And her mother, the head of the Black Princess Mountain clan, not only obeyed this boy in every possible way, but also had a very obvious intention to let this child inherit the Black Princess Mountain clan.

Of course, this kind of thing is also difficult for the Black Princess Mountain to accept internally. This family is accustomed to women serving as the head of the clan, and the family tends to be dominated by powerful female clan leaders. If a man is rashly replaced as the new head of the family, the situation will definitely change.

Xiaohagi naturally would not let this kind of thing happen. She and Gehua were secretly fighting against their mother.

Originally, even with the support of the factions behind them, this kind of thing would be difficult to do, but who made the youngest brother a “boy”, just this one identity, it was destined that those conservatives who were loyal to the head of the family would also hesitate about the question of “who will be the next head of the family”.

“Although I have recruited many people in order to strengthen the power of the faction, it has also increased the number of incompetent people, which is also a troublesome matter.”

While thinking about this question, she walked towards the path in the mountain. With the lonely light of the moon above her head, the two arrived at a small shrine in the mountain.

The small shrine was located on the top of the mountain, and a man-made stone staircase wound upwards.

“It should be here……”

Yata carried the lantern, stepped on the stone steps, and rushed into the torii gate of the shrine’s main entrance.

However, the moment he passed through the torii gate, he let out a scream.

“……What, what happened?”

The small shrine in the mountain had turned into a tragic ruin. The rough wooden buildings collapsed as if blown by a strong wind, and the air was filled with an iron-like bloody smell.

Xiaohagi also stepped into the shrine in wooden clogs, and the ground was a sea of blood formed by several corpses lying on the ground.

She noticed that these people seemed to have been dismembered into eight pieces by something, fragmented and broken, and some corpses were lying in their own internal organs and blood.

‘The cut surface is so smooth, what kind of weapon was used?’

Just then, Yata cried and rushed towards a corpse.

“Senior Katsutaro, why did you become like this?”

“Enough.”

Xiaohagi interrupted his cry.

“Yata, you didn’t come here in advance… What happened here at that time?”

“No, there was no problem before.”

Yata wiped his tears.

“Senior Katsutaro has been guarding outside, but half an hour ago, they found someone approaching the shrine, and said that they had caught the other party, and conveyed a message asking me to bring the princess over as well.”

“I see.”

Xiaohagi sighed, “It seems that this should be a trap.”

“A trap, a trap?”

The corner of Yata’s mouth twitched slightly, and he asked suspiciously, “Could it be that we have fallen into the other party’s trap.”

“Probably.”

Xiaohagi asked faintly, “Yata, have you been in contact with Katsutaro and the others?”

“Wh, what?”

Yata was stunned.

“Forget it.”

Xiaohagi sighed softly and drew her sword from its sheath.

Sword flash.

In an instant, her right hand left a swaying afterimage.

Before the boy could understand what had happened, his head flew out. No one could see what the sword had cut off his neck.
